Managing authorisation/de authorisation of computers

I'm wanting to reset my authorised computers.  I obviously want to keep my own computer authorised but is the quickest way to do this to de authorise all and then authorise my computer.  Will this effect anything (like the library, synced devises etc)?

In the iTunes Store (on your computer), click your Apple ID in the top right corner. Enter your password to view your account. Under Apple ID Summary, you will see a Computer Authorizations line and a "Deauthorize All" button. That is what you're looking for. After you click it, ALL computer will be deauthorized (including the one you're on). Then feel free to re-authorize computers.
Be warned: Apple customer service told me you can only use this once a year. Not sure if the rule still applies.

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance. Only they can perform a second Deauthorize All before the year ends.

  • ITunes thinks I have authorised 3 computers - I haven't

    iTunes 7.0.1. is under the impression that I have authorised 3 computers to use the iTunes store. I haven't.
    As I was downloading a track, my already authorised G5 popped up a message saying authorisation had been OK. Checking my account shows 3 authorised machines. I foillowed Apple's guide "One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations" on both this and my notebook. Both show that each machine is only authorised once. As I have no other computers, this is baffling.
    Another problem with iTunes? How do I get it back to recognising that I am only authed on the two machines I own?
    Any thoughts, guys?

    Have you added any RAM/hardware or reinstalled the OS?
    These can cause iTunes to think it's a different machine, thereby using an other authorization.

    This is not really a problem (although it can be irritating) unless you need that authorization back to use on another computer.

  • I have used only one laptop since I started using apple products, but itunes notified me that i have authorised 5 computers. how do i correct this

    I have used only one laptop since I started using apple products, but itunes notified me that i have authorised 5 computers. how do i correct this

    Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computer.

  • HT1420 why don't you let me authorise 5 computers

    why don't you let me authorise 5 computers

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.  You should be able to authorise 5 computers, but not more than that - old computers that you haven't deauthorised will count in the 5, and a computer could count for more than one authorisation if you haven't deauthorised it prior to updating or reinstalling the OS on it.
    Do you currently have 5 computers authorised ? If you do and you no longer have some of them then you can 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you should then be able to reauthorise up to 5 computers that you still have and need.

  • I have 2 Adobe CC subscription plan under same adobe ID, but i only can manage to used on two computers. How can I activate another the second plan.

    I have 2 Adobe CC subscription plan under same adobe ID, but i only can manage to used on two computers. How can I activate another the second plan.

    Hi AndrewHISC
    We would need to cancel one of the subscriptions and then you could sign up again using another ID.
    Let me know if you wish to proceed with this.

  • I have 2 itunes accounts - one work a/c and one home a/c, but when i sign in at home only my home songs appear even if I sign in my work a/c. I have authorised both computers to show both a/cs. How can I get my work a/c songs to appear at home?

    I have 2 itunes a/cs one at work and one at home. Both computers are authorised for the 2 a/cs, but I can;t get my work a/c songs to show on my home computer, even though I sign in my work a/c, and I can't get my home songs to show up on the  work computer even though I sign in my home a/c. V. frustrating!

    Hi,
    You will have to manually copy your music. Get a pen-drive big enough to accommodate all your music. And follow these steps:
    1. Create a new folder on the pen-drive.
    2. Copy the music from your work computer to the folder you just created. It's in (yourhomefolder)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media>Music if you're using a Mac, or in C:\Users\(yourusername)\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music if you're using Windows.
    3. Now on your home computer quit iTunes, and copy your music from work to the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder in (yourhomefolder)>Music>iTunes>iTunes Media.
    4. Start iTunes. It will automatically start to process the files and move them to the appropriate place.
    Repeat these steps with your music from home on your work computer. Also I suggest to use only one iTunes account if possible.
    Hope it helps
    Regards,
    Gábor

  • I've authorised 5 computers, Can't deauthorise 5 for another 9 months

    I authorised 1 or 2 of my friend's computer to play my music when I stayed.
    But I have authorised my current computer at least 3 times and it's been away to be fixed many many times.
    And iTunes is telling me I can't deauthorise All computers again till september.
    This would all be very well but on my friends itunes i can't find the 'deauthorise' link that I read on how to deauthorise one machine.
    So basically, if anyone can help me in finding the link more specifically, or how to deauthorise all again, or anything, please reply.

    or how to deauthorise all again
    Fill out and submit this form to ask for a second deauthorize all or other assistance.

  • De-Authorise all computers

    I have already used this option in iTunes once this year, and I am now at the point where I need to do it again, I have tried using the form on apple's website to ask them to help me with the issue but I haven't heard anything back and I did this about a month ago. Any ideas of another way I can de-authorise a machine i don’t have access to?

    ITMS allowed me a second 'deauthorize all', though I did advise them that I am a Apple Certified Tech and am constantly swapping computers, I'm not sure if this made a difference.

  • HT1420 De-authorising old computers

How do i get round this if i dont have or use old comps and dont want to de-authorise everything else ??

    How do i get round this if i dont have or use old comps and dont want to de-authorise everything else ??
    Doublechecking something. Why don't you want to do a Deauthorise All from one of the computers you have access to and then reauthorise the computers you have access to?

  • HT1420 i cant authorised my computer with itunes it says u have Authorised 5 computers.

    Well the problem for me is that I authorised old comps but all of them are now not working so i don't know how do i de-authorised them and authorised my current one.

  • De-authorising dead computers

    Hi, me again!,
    In recent months I have upgraged my motherboard once through choice, then once more because a trojan/worm destroyed that one.
    Each time I have had to authorise the 'new' pc. As a result I now have 3 pc's authorised but only one pc to work from... stay with me...
    How do i de-authorise the previous two (now dead) pc's???
    Thanks
    Matt.

  • Issue in Quality Management Authorisation

    Hello Gurus
    I am facing  a problem in Quality Managemant Authorisation.
    My client wants Authorisation in QA32 in Such a way that one of the user should have  ERSA materials clearing authority and other materials which are not relevant to him should  not be displayed for his user ID in QA32.
    I have maintained Authorisation group in Material master QM view,
    But it is not working , the user is able to see all the materials which is not relevant to him also in QA32
    Is there any user exit  to this or any other standard procedure.
    Thanx znd Regards
    Praveen

    Hi Praveen,
    Solution to Your Problem is very Simple
    Go in QA32 , and create a varient...while creating give number range for ERSA material which user wants to view..for example 4000000001 to 4000000999 (lets say this is number range for ERSA) and choose other criteria which you want to restirct for the user like Plant, select lot without usage decision etc.
    User should be trained to select varient to select after going in QA32.
    try this and let me know if any help required
    Regards
